JOHN W. HABBERLEY, OF SOUTH MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS.

13mm Putative. 82,940, dated 00mm. 13, 186s.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making -part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, JOHN W. HABBERLEY, of South Malden, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Anchors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description of the same, suicient to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to fully construct and understand the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which 1 nake part of this specication, and in Which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved anchor, and

Figure 2 is a detached view of one of the flukes.

Like letters of reference indicate like-parts in both figures.

The nature of my invention consists in the peculiar construction of an anchor, the flukes of which are constructed separately, with square inner ends, which are inserted into square mortises, a, in the hub ofthe anchor, and kept there in place by pins.

A, in the drawings, is the shank, provided with the usual ring, C, for attachment of the chain. This shank is a round bar of wrought iron, passing through and being secured to the hub B, which may be cast, and is provided with square sockets, into which the square inner ends of iiukes D are inserted, and where they'are held by pins passing through the dukes and sockets, or by being keyed.

Having thus described my invention,

What I-claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An anchor, when constructed, of the shank A of Wrought iron, inserted into the cast hub B, which latter is provided with sockets for the reception ofthe square inner ends of the dukes D, which are secured by pins or keys, substantially as described.

JOHN W. HABBERLEY.
